default settings – How do I disable all AI features in Chrome? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/11
Few places have the configuration for various platforms on how to prevent Google Chrome from installing the 4GB LLM model that got traction over the last few days. Luckily it is at [Wayback/Archive] default settings – How do I disable all AI features in Chrome? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] A-Tech and [Wayback/Archive] cachius):

Google Sheets actually has a ton of Excel compatible functions; wish the User Experience was better though
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/14
I have been using Microsoft Excel since it beat the Quattro Pro limitation of rows and columns with the version 12.0, on Windows more commonly named Excel 2007 (which also introduced a fully new user experience including the vertical screen estate eating Ribbon – the main reason I like 16:10 monitors over 16:9 ones) and on Mac as Excel 2008.
It means I have like 20 years of Excel experience not just on what it can technically can do (see my Excel posts) but especially on the user experience bit.

Notes for a Bookmarklet that fixes Wayback Machine archivals of Google Search queries
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/01
For a while now, after initially displaying archived Google Search results, it changes the Wayback Machine archival URL after displaying.
Examples:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+last+delimiterhttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMThttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMT
I want to write a Bookmarklet that fixes these.
There is not much in the results of
[Wayback/Archive] “GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION” “Wayback” – Google Search, but I think this happens when there is a high frequency Google Search archivals from the Wayback Machine.

Organising my Twitter lists: adding many accounts at once
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/30
I could not find a way to add many accounts at once to a Twitter list using the normal App or Web UI, so I did a [Wayback/Archive] twitter mass add accounts to list – Google Search
The only way to do this seems to be to use Google Chrome and install [Wayback/Archive] Better TweetDeck – Chrome Web Store combined with the old TweetDeck UI (or use and install it on any of the other supported browsers).
Note that it is basically a project shelved early 2023, so it will likely have stopped functioning before you read this.

Cannot load the Google Chat progressive web app on Chromium based browsers any more (gmail integration works fine)
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/20
Since a few days, oo my desktop systems, Chromium based browsers cannot completely load the Google Chat progressive web app any more.
Symptoms:
- Google Chat Android app works fine from my mobile devices
- This link works fine on my desktop in Chromium based browsers: mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#chat/home
- This link fails to fully load on my desktop in Chromium based browsers: chat.google.com/u/0/app?wr=1
The failure is that the green progress bar under the Google Workspace logo quickly almost fills up to become fully green, but then stalls without any network activity.
What I tried but does not fix:

GitHub – glotlabs/gdrive: Google Drive CLI Client
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/13
On my list of tools to play around with: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – glotlabs/gdrive: Google Drive CLI Client
With a warning though from the documentation (emphasis mine):
Gdrive saves your account credentials and tokens under
$HOME/.config/gdrive3/. You don’t usually need to use these files directly, but if someone gets access to them, they will also be able to access your Google Drive. Keep them safe.
and from the gdrive2 prior version more elaborate documentation [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – prasmussen/gdrive: Google Drive CLI Client:

I learned there is another way to instantly turn Google Search into using Comic Sans
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/08
Recently learned that [Wayback/Archive] geocities – Google Search works just like [Wayback/Archive] comic sans – Google Search (:
Via [Wayback/Archive] if you search up old web hosting site geocities, everything turns into comic sans (you can also search up “comic sans”) : google
